Bristol Old
Vic’s Tom Morris (War Horse, Swallows & Amazons,) directs
the first stage version of Touching
the Void, adapted by The Lyceum’s David Greig (The Events, The Suppliant Women, Charlie and
the Chocolate Factory) from the award-winning memoir by Joe
Simpson, which also became a BAFTA-winning film. They are joined by
Designer Ti Green,
Sound Designer and Composer Jon
Nicholls, Lighting Designer Chris Davey, Movement Director Sasha Milavic Davies and with casting by Jill
Green CDG.
This production marks the 30th anniversary of the publication of Joe
Simpson’s best-selling memoir, charting his extraordinary struggle for survival
on the perilous Siula Grande mountain in the Peruvian Andes. Alongside this
struggle, is the appalling dilemma of his climbing partner Simon Yates, perched
on an unstable snow-cliff, clinging onto the rope tying him to the severely
injured Joe. Unable to recover Joe from the void, Simon is faced with the
agonising decision to cut the rope that binds them…
Tom Morris said: “This production has been an extraordinary journey into the unknown, inspired by one of the most compelling books I’ve ever opened. Simpson’s story drove my imagination wild with fear, excitement and hope. We hope this show will do the same for yours.”
